Marvelous Mulberry

I'm a very bad blogger - I've been a bit AWOL what with house move prep, work, hosting last ever house party, the hangover from hell.

On Sunday morning, the fashion glitterati flocked to the show that promised theatre, imagination and fun - Mulberry.  The ever-so-British brand has been on quite a journey.  I grew up surrounded by my mother's Mulberry bags - simple, premium, reliable.  But Creative Director Emma Hill has injected colour, humour and playfulness into the label and put it firmly on the fashion map with bags that create waiting lists, hype and pure lust.  Every show and party is a feast for the eyes with witty little details that make women swoon.


To invite the fashion press to the Autumn Winter show, 
Mulberry sent out giant gold keys as invitations.

 

Inspired by Where The Wild Things Are, the show was packed with fur - glorious, 
shaggy, over the top fur.  The collection was heavy with texture, with a splash of bright 
autumnal orange and I love the chunky scarves tucked into skinny belts.  
Makes me want to skip Summer and go straight into next Autumn. 



The Mulberry Monster

For the ultimate fashion read indulge in Mulberry The Book, a celebration of the brand for its 40th Anniversary.  I got this for my last birthday and it's become a bookshelf favourite.

Ready, Steady, GO!

London Fashion Week has commenced.  Heels are clacking, models are staying hydrated and PR's are furiously trying to keep the shows running smoothly.  


Favourite show from today?  It's Felder Felder.

  

Chunky knits with metallics....mmmmmmmmmmm

Ice Ice Baby

Ok, so a delivery of Ben & Jerry's doesn't exactly complement the kick off to London Fashion Week but we're tired of soup and oatcakes.  Just look what the iconic American icecreamist kindly supplied my office with this afternoon!!  The new delectable flavours are available now and all have a Core of something gooey, sticky and ADDICTIVE.  The girls and boys have been swarming round the pots of Dough-able Whammy, Karamel Sutra and Berry White.  Hello, Friday Feeling.

Five Gold Rings

I saw the lovely Holly from Cosmopolitan this morning and just take a look at her hands!  Barry M's Cyan Blue nail paint plus multiple miss-matched gold rings.  LOVE.



For all her hilarious anecdotes and fashion chat follow her on twitter @HollyCooop

PS. And for those who would argue that she is sporting SIX gold rings,
two of them are linked so my festive title is totally justified!

Monday Admin

Why is it that after a long Monday, you have loads of boring jobs to do come the evening? Tonight I will be cleaning, organising my big house move and sorting out my food for the week.  Then I will be sleeping zzzzzzzzzzzzz.  Hope others have a bit more excitement planned!  We've done it, Monday is O.V.E.R xx
